All of the above toys are available on-line and in store at Mastermind Toys. Mastermind Toys offers FREE shipping within Canada when you spend $60 or more. Plus, they gift wrap for free (which is pretty awesome for birthday presents).

PARENT CLUB TIP:

Head over to the loot bag section of Mastermind Toys and pick up a few inexpensive, small, toys (then go hide them in your toy closet). When you are headed on a road trip or happen to experience rainy day blahs – you can bring out a toy as a “surprise!” summer toy. Works great (I know – I’ve done it!).

GIVEAWAY!

Enter for a chance to win a $50 Mastermind Toys gift card! Pick up a hot summer toy to keep the kids busy at home, during travel or just for a rainy day! This Mastermind Toys Giveaway is open to residents of Canada, excluding Quebec 18+.

my 2 L/O would love Shopkins! I was hoping for something a little more intense or intellectually stimulating, but, I have come to enjoy the fact that we are a household that chooses Shopkins!!! Love them!
